Create Master Data Centrally Using Guided Procedures
You may have seen the article Create Master Data Centrally Using Guided Procedures that was recently published here on SDN. In this weblog I will keep you up to date with the latest information regarding this scenario. This includes new screen recordings and the latest source code.
The following software has to be installed in order to follow the instructions in the article.
– MDM Server, MDM Console and MDM Data Manager (all components MDM 5.5 SP4)
– NetWeaver Portal 7.0 (NW2004s SPS8)
– SAP CAF 7.00 (SPS8)
– CAF EU 7.00 (SPS8)
– MDM Business Package (for MDM 5.5 SP4)
download article as PDF
[20.09.2006] Download the updated main article here. In the guide you will learn how to implement a central master data management scenario using guided procedures in a short timeframe using SAP NetWeaver as a platform. The focus is on the central creation of business partner master data.
watch recordings now
[20.09.2006] Previously the screen recordings where only available for download. You can now watch detailed screen recordings online for each step in the guide.
application source code
[20.09.2006] Use this link to download the source code and deployable files if you are using SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS8 and above.
Hints for Changing the Source Code
The setup described in the article was tested only with the product releases mentioned above. You may choose to use different versions. But the source code will not work without modifications with NW04s releases before SPS7 and MDM Server releases before 5.5 SP4
The CAF GP public API has changed in NW04s SPS07 as compared to SPS06 (see SAP note 924776 for details). As a result the Guided Procedure from the guide will not work with releases before SPS07.
If you experience difficulties (in particular connection problems to the MDM server) you may need to make changes to the source code. Follow the instructions in section Extending the application.
It is recommended that you update the file MDM4J.jar in the library DC libmdm1 to the version that matches the MDM Server version that you have installed.
I'm not an MDM person but I love the video weblog
tutorial which we can all download and watch:)
that was a great idea!
I wish there were many more like this one 🙂

Thanks for this blog. I tried to download the code/application for SP7 but the " download expired" from sapmat. Can you re-upload them and advise me (g.atlan@sap.com).
Thanks a lot

I don't know why but I just can't get this scenario running! I installed:
1.) MDM Server, MDM Console, MDM Data Manager - all 5.5 SP4
2.) SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP8
3.) CAF Core
4.) CAF GP
5.) MDM Business Package (MDM 5.5 SP4)
and
I deployed the files from this side:
a. gp_application_SP8.sca
b. gp_content_SP8.sda.
and later on (when I figuered out that this doesn't work) I imported also
c. portal_content_SP8.epa.
When trying to start a process, I get the error: "process could not be initiated".
What is wrong?
Thanks!

thanks for the answer!
Yes, I have done that step:
Application Parameters: process.template.id=A6BE0580027211DBAB83000802E2C0AF&process.autostart=t

the connect.java has Port = 2000 by default.
My Port is 2345. Do you think that might be the reason why it can't connect to the repository?

are the deployables gp_application_SP8 and gp_content_SP8 enaugh for this scenario? And in the Developer Studio, when copying the source code in DC's (sdn.com) the myComponents folders doesn't show these files (but the older version ides.com was shown).
Does this page really contain all the files needed for this scenario? Sorry for the stupid questions but I am getting mad because I can't get in running!
I am getting connecting prblems to the repository and apart from that the Universal Worklist doesn't show the work items from the previous action.
Please help! 😉
I also deployed the two files: gp_content_SP8.sda and gp_application_SP8.sca. I got the Teched folder.
Cheers,
Erdal
I have been trying to create a similar scenario as yours for some time but regretted that I did not manage to get it working till now.
My working ennvironment is EP 7.0 SPS08 and MDM 5.5 SP04, and I am following using the updated application code and deployables on this blog.
I realised the article and recordings (though stated to be updated) are referring to the old deployables IDES_MDM (H2G_GuidedProcedures.sda and H2G_WebDynpro.sca) instead of the new Teched(gp_application_SP8.sca and gp_content_SP8.sda). Do I need to install the old IDES_MDM files (for SPS07) if I am deploying on SPS08?
Inside the deploy_SP8 folder, other than the sca/sda files and repository, there is a portal_content_SP8.epa and Create_Users.txt.
Do we need to deploy the portal_content_SP8.epa as well? For the Create_Users.txt, how do we make use of this file? These are not mentioned in the posted article and recordings.
Greatly appreciate for your advice. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Amanda Ooi
I have redeployed and import the sca/sda/epa files. But I have been getting error - 'The login method is not called successfully' when submitting request to search or create record in the MDM respository.
Please advise. Thanks!
Best Regards.
I have experienced the same problem:
'The login method is not called successfully' when submitting request to search or create record in the MDM respository.
Someone can help me?

Great guide...
Unfortunately I can't download the needed files anymore. Is there any possibility to load them up again? ( I noticed that Florins had the same problem...may be we could put this in the Downloads section in SDN.....)
Thanks again
I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused outdated links.

I am working on a similar project as yours, but I have some difficulty with creating the WD model.
How did you create it exactly? Which kind of model did you use?
Regards,
Peter
Therefore the files HTGWD and HTGGP cannot be found anymore.
Has anyone got an idea how to do the actions described in this document on MDM 7
